Estimating Impacts of p16 Status on Tumor Radiosensitivity in Head and Neck Cancer using Predictive Models.

Radiat Res

September 2024

Department of Dental Radiology and Radiation Oncology, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU), Japan.

The intrinsic radiosensitivity index (RSI) and genomic-adjusted radiation dose (GARD) were reported to be able to predict the surviving fraction at 2 Gy and therapeutic effect when delivering actual treatment doses using the gene expression profiles of clinical cases. Given the impact of p16 status, a surrogate marker of the human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, on radiosensitivity, we attempted to apply the RSI and GARD to estimate p16-associated radiosensitivity in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC). For this purpose, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset was employed.

Clinical Biomarkers of Tumour Radiosensitivity and Predicting Benefit from Radiotherapy: A Systematic Review.

Cancers (Basel)

May 2024

Translational Radiobiology Group, Division of Cancer Sciences, The Oglesby Cancer Research Building, The University of Manchester, 555 Wilmslow Road, Manchester M20 4GJ, UK.

Modern advanced radiotherapy techniques have improved the precision and accuracy of radiotherapy delivery, with resulting plans being highly personalised based on individual anatomy. Adaptation for individual tumour biology remains elusive. There is an unmet need for biomarkers of intrinsic radiosensitivity that can predict tumour response to radiation to facilitate individualised decision-making, dosing and treatment planning.

Background: Locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) patients undergoing radiotherapy are at risk of treatment failure, particularly locoregional recurrence. To optimize the individual radiation dose, we hypothesize that the genomic adjusted radiation dose (GARD) can be used to correlate with locoregional control.

Methods: A total of 92 patients with American Joint Committee on Cancer / International Union Against Cancer stage III to stage IVB recruited in a randomized phase III trial were assessed (NPC-0501) (NCT00379262).

Background: Soft tissue sarcomas (STS), have significant inter- and intra-tumoral heterogeneity, with poor response to standard neoadjuvant radiotherapy (RT). Achieving a favorable pathologic response (FPR ≥ 95%) from RT is associated with improved patient outcome. Genomic adjusted radiation dose (GARD), a radiation-specific metric that quantifies the expected RT treatment effect as a function of tumor dose and genomics, proposed that STS is significantly underdosed.

Background: Treatment decision-making in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) includes clinical stage, HPV status, and smoking history. Despite improvements in staging with separation of HPV-positive and -negative OPSCC in AJCC 8th edition (AJCC8), patients are largely treated with a uniform approach, with recent efforts focused on de-intensification in low-risk patients. We have previously shown, in a pooled analysis, that the genomic adjusted radiation dose (GARD) is predictive of radiation treatment benefit and can be used to guide RT dose selection.
